Umm, David, Jane was the one who originally posted that link to the speech synthesis programming guide to the list as a forwarded email (smile). Jane,
Since Greg has commented: GK; The apple speech manager has no embedded codes for changing voices on the fly. I'll just add that the only way I've found this voice switch on the fly handled is by setting up a shortcut key that allows you to switch voices in mid reading the way that the assistiveware folks do. With VisoVoice you can switch between five voices either using their voice menu or with keyboard shortcuts. Their more affordable ConvenienceWare product, Ghost Reader, also allows you to switch to 5 voices on the fly with keyboard shortcuts. However, VisioVoice is pricey, and GhostReader is aimed at the mainstream text-to-speech market. It's usable by low-vision users, but not really for totally blind.
